Summer officially ends today! Now it's time for the best season, Autumn. I can finally start to wear sweaters again. Yes, I know, I'm weird.
In celebration, it's time to break out the Van Morrison, who perfectly compliments fall. For me, Morrison reminds me of my freshman year of college, which I still think was probably the best year of my life. I discovered actual...

Hours, schmours. 
I'd love to see it with you, too. Damn the distance.

So I went to the Smiling Moose to start off, the local hardcore/metal/detritus bar. Saw some sub-Motorhead grease-metal band there. They did have their moments, though. I almost cried, though, when they attempted to cover the Pistols' "No Future." I *did* cry when they played their own composition, entitled "Killed By Death." But really, what do I know of metal? After all, I went to...

Just like Trainspotting.
Without the whole heroin withdrawal, of course.

Gahh. It's Saturday night and I have nothing to do. Every single one of my friends is otherwise occupied. So, I'm gonna do something I hate - go to the bar alone. Meh. I just can't justify sitting here on Saturday night, doing nothing.
I ended up going to my friend's wedding. I have to say, I'm very pleased that I did. It really would have been a scummy move on my part to skip it for selfish reasons, firstly. However, I did miss the actual ceremony, as I missed my alarm and slept in. This wouldn't have been a problem had I taken my usual route to Clarion,...

weird, i was jsut going to ask you about The Band. that's my Autumn music. but i've been having a lot of Jungian coincedences lately. they dont even surprise me anymore. i think I'm in tune with some thing in the psychic either, or God is telling me something...
So how horrible is it that I'm thinking of skipping out on my friend's wedding this weekend? Wait...don't answer that - I don't need to know what an ass I am.
Here's the thing - one of his soon-to-be-wife's friends is my "first love," a girl who broke up with me no less than two times and did a serious number on me back in...

This weekend was honestly a great time. It feels good to be able to say that without any reservations.
I got out of work early on Friday night and went over to my one friend's house, who I haven't really hung out with since he graduated back in '01 or so. Just some drinking and watching of "Kung-Fu Hustle" (quite a trip while you're drunk)...

I've been thinking about Ghostbusters a lot the past few weeks. I'm dying to see it again. I LOVE that movie.

Upon stopping at the dreaded Wal-Mart after work tonight, I found out a new two-disc set with both movies was just released. Too cool. Much restraint was used to keep from purchasing it immediately.
Picked up Dylan's Bootleg Series Vol. 7, No Direction Home today. Not quite as good as the previous entries in the series, but damn, am I excited for the film now. Not that I wasn't before, but this is going to be the best thing since bread came sliced.
And apparently the date did not go well. Meh. I'm not exactly beating myself up over...

Yes, her loss.
If we're both in Hogwarts uniforms at the party. we MUST get a photo together.

So I went on a date tonight. (Hell freezes over!) I'm not sure how it went, really. We've talked over e-mail and the phone pretty extensively over the past week, have tons in common and the conversations have been generally awkwardness-free. But now I'm thinking I may have goofed up tonight cos I'm so backwards and shy when meeting someone for the first time. It...

Oh, and I'm starting my 4:00pm to 12:30am shift tomorrow, so it'll be even more impossible for me to attempt to fashion a social life.
blah, blah, blah, whine, whine, whine.
At least I really like my new apartment.

I am pretty much the same way... Life could be terrible as hell but I'm happy because my condo is excellent. Kinda feels like being Edward Norton's character in Fight Club.

Heh, perhaps in Fantasyland.

Why is it impossible for me to find a decent woman? I like to think that I'm not terribly repulsive, and at least halfway interesting.
Is it that I live in Pittsburgh, and that it's just a city filled with people that don't find me interesting, and vice versa? But no - there seem to be plenty of interesting people in my area on this...

Went to see Batman Begins tonight after work. Holy God, this film is perfect.
This is the best comic book film ever made. I'm not even coming close to hyperbole here, either.
Everything about this film was pitch-perfect. As much as I love the Burton films, I honestly don't think I'll ever be able to watch them and enjoy them as "Batman" films, just as...

That's what I thought he gave him. I was just a little confused that in a movie that I think we both agree is really well written and tightly constructed, that this item doesn't come back in any meaningful way. Specifically, that it is not put to use, or that it does not further the plot because people point at it and say, "look that kid has batman's night vision scope, he must be batman's friend. (Jeez, you don't think he's going to be Robin?) I guess the point of the earlier scene is just to introduce this sort of "innocent", so that when he's threatened later he's not so anonymous. Of course the flip side of that is something I'm not so comfortable with, which is that the kid only has worth because batman knows him, and that everyone else in the Narrows is expendable. I also don't like the fact that out of everyone in the Narrows batman runs into him twice. a little too deus ex machina for my taste, but considering how minor it is I can let it slide.

Supervillians teaming up?
How about supervillians double-crossing each other.
Really, I mean come on, supervillians can't stand to be second fiddle, they can't stand to have peers.
I see Scarecrow and Joker plot turns, which might see the crow's demise as Joker rises to power.
BTW. Incredible movie.
